Book: Becoming an Apprentice - A Short Story by Owen Tyler

Owen Tyler

about this book: Teslanar has the gift of magic, but doesn't know how to use it, yet. He's been accepted into the Grayhearth College of Magic, but it will take more than enrollment for him to fulfill his dreams. Wizards don't just start throwing magic around, they need to be taught the basics of magical theory. Until a magic user casts his first spell, a wizard won't even acknowledge their existence let alone teach them.

"Distraction is the bane of all wizards."

His teacher continually reminds him and his fellow students that they have to focus when casting magic. Why is it then, that everything in his life starts distracting him?

Will he grow stronger or be broken by these "distractions"?

Will Teslanar succeed and become a wizard's apprentice? Or will life force him down another path?

Becoming an Apprentice is an introduction to the land of Tahlia, where the Akuji Chronicles take place.
